Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Create Project
Tool to create a new basin project. use when you need a new organizational container for forms. example: "create a project named marketing leads."
Why this helps
A new initiative is easy to miss when its request arrives among everyday email.
- Create a project from an explicit request and supplied name.
- Reduce the inbox-to-Basin handoff for new initiatives.
- Keep unrelated email from triggering project creation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Basin once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Basin project only when a new email explicitly requests one and includes its name; do not invent a name.
- 4Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real project request email.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a project from any email mentioning a project?
The instruction should require an explicit request to create a new Basin project, not a casual mention.
Can Notis choose a project name if none is given?
No. The instruction should prevent guessing and send incomplete requests to a report channel for follow-up.
